Lou Malnati's Pizzeria (Carryout and delivery)

Chicago has a rich, longstanding love affair with pizza, and loyal fans have lined up for decades to enjoy Lou Malnati's deep-dish pies. From the time the first location opened in Lincolnwood in 1971, the family-owned and-operated business (now managed by sons Rick and Marc) has had the same goal: to provide a casual atmosphere with good food the whole family can enjoy.

Now with over 30 city and suburban locations, Lou Malnati's serves up both deep-dish and thin-crust pizza with the requisite toppings as well as a lselection of soups, salads, pastas and sandwiches. Signature stuffed spinach bread and cheese cubes are must-try appetizers, and both the chicken Parmesan sandwich and antipasto salad serve as yummy pizza alternatives
